Invitation to Join Shakesperiana 'Winter of Our Dyscontent,' Dys Theatre

An invitation from






to submit to

The Winter of our Dyscontent

Made glorious SUMMER by this feat- nay, FEAST of a festival.
March 1, 2, 8, 9 AND BEWARE THE IDES.



Here’s the rub: let’s get as many different takes on Shakespeare as possible, from as many different groups, individuals, and time periods as possible, and put ‘em all together under the same roof in joyous celebration of ye ol bard’s diverse influence on our communities. We’re looking for traditional interpretations, modernized stuff, classic homages, monologues, improvs, sketches, musics, et cetera, ad nauseam, carpe diem!

What is love? ’tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What’s to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty,—
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.

Friends, Austinites, Countrymen: We’re soliciting from you, all of you, 2 to 20 minute segments that are in some way related to the bard, to be performed at Salvage Vanguard Theater once or more, at 8pm, the first two Fridays and Saturdays of March and BEWARE THE IDES (because we might indeed have a sxsw venue for a “best of” on the 15th and 16th). Click to go to the submission form at the Dys Theatre website.

Avaunt, player, the spaces are filling! Time is of the essence!
In most expedient haste, do alight thy pointer on this web-tastic form and submit thyself:

Upcoming: Latino Comedy Project at the New Movement Theatre, July 22 - 23

Received directly:

Emmy-nominated sketch comedy troupe

The Latino Comedy Project

returns with a bitingly hilarious mix of favorite sketches, monologues, videos and “sketch-prov” LIVE at The New Movement Theater!

ONE WEEKEND ONLY! Friday and Saturday, JULY 22-23, 2011 at 8 p.m.

The New Movement Theater, 1819 Rosewood Ave, Austin, TX, 78722 (click for map)

TICKETS: $8 general admission, available at the box office on performance evenings

The LCP returns to a new venue with a leaner, meaner, stripped-down set of many of your favorite sketches, monologues, videos – with the new addition of “sketch-prov” added to the mix! Media, pop-culture, politics and parody collide in the LCP's usual fast-paced whirlwind assault on the absurdities of American life.

“We hope for this to be the first in ongoing monthly LCP shows at New Movement Theater,” said LCP Artistic Director Adrian Villegas. “We’d like to bring to our Austin audiences the live version of what we do more often and in a more stripped-down and intimate environment. We love performing for our Austin fans.”
